"Shelley" lyrics

"Shelley"

People say Shelley won't come to no good
Maybe that girl's misunderstood
Wonderin' what this world's all about
And why there's a flame she can never put out
Someone got lucky once I suppose
Drunk on the scent of a midnight rose
She gave him somethin' he'd never felt before
Now Shelley can't love you no more

Folks say Shelley holds her head too high
Starin' way beyond that sunset sky
What's on her mind is anyone's guess
If she's outta line well she couldn't care less
She's always gonna be the face you adore
But Shelley can't love you no more

If she never comes or don't wanna call
Brother you're on your own
And if you have to make a fool of yourself
You might as well do it alone

Well don't matter
Shelley can't love you no more

Shelley's got a heart like a hurricane
She'll leave you stranded in the killin' rain
Tell her you've gotta have her by your side
She'll run you around 'til you got no pride
It's never gonna happen but you still pretend
She breaks your spirit it'll never mend
Take another breath what you waitin' for
But Shelley can't love you no more

When it's over and done you're lookin' back
Tryin' to make sense of it all
Shelley's long gone countin' the stars
Catchin' them as they fall

No more
No more
No more
Shelley can't love you no more
